Premiers | Essendon (3rd premiership) |
The 1893 Victorian Football Association season was the 17th season of the Australian rules football competition.
The premiership was won by the Essendon Football Club, which was unbeaten during the season; Essendon finished with a record of 18 wins and 2 draws from 20 matches. It was also Essendon's third consecutive premiership out of a sequence of four consecutive premierships won from 1891 to 1894.
The playing membership of the Association was unchanged from 1892. On the administrative side, the representation of the three Ballarat-based clubs – Ballarat, Ballarat Imperial and South Ballarat – was diminished, with each club now represented by only one delegate on the Board of Management instead of the two delegates to which each other club was entitled. [1] Efforts to reduce Ballarat representation had been occurring since as early as 1891, as Ballarat's control of almost 20% of Association delegates was seen to give excessive voting power to a city which played fewer games than and did not compete in the premiership with the metropolitan teams. [2] The Ballarat-based clubs remained affiliated to the Association with lesser representation, but also started up their own body, the Ballarat Football Association, this same year.
Teams did not play a uniform number of premiership matches during the season. As such, in the final standings, each team's premiership points were adjusted upwards proportionally to represent a 21-match season – e.g., Essendon played 20 matches, so its tally of premiership points was increased by a factor of 21/20. After this adjustment, there was no formal process for breaking a tie.
